LATEST: Rap mogul Marion 'Suge' Knight has been released from jail, a week
after he was locked up for a parole violation.

The DEATH ROW co-founder was picked up from the California Institution For
Men in the city of Chino yesterday (15FEB05) by his family and returned to his
Beverly Hills home, where he will serve out the remainder of his parole under
24-hour
monitoring by the California Department of Corrections.

Department of Corrections spokesperson MARGOT BACH says, "He is to stay on
electronic monitoring at all times, under home detention, until he discharges
from parole, which is in about two and a half months."

Under the conditions of his detention, Knight must submit to random drug
testing, and he is to remain in his home from 8pm to 6am every day. According
to Bach, the drug-testing stipulation was added because of Knight's 5 February
(05) arrest in
Barstow, California, where police say they found him with marijuana.

While Knight remains at home, there is still a chance he could be returned
to state prison by the California Board of Prison Terms, because his case is
listed as a "mandatory referral" due to the violent nature of his past crimes,
